Tokyo in 3D

Last week the Google Earth Blog reported on a huge update to the 3D buildings layer in Google Earth. This update is also available via the Google Earth Browser.

One of the cities that has received a huge boost in the number of 3D buildings is Tokyo (check out the Google Earth Blog for a full list of cities that have been updated). This Tokyo 3D Tour takes you on a fly-through tour of many of the shrines, museums and other interesting buildings of the Japanese capital.

To view the tour you will need the Google Earth Browser plug-in (you will be prompted to install it if you haven't already) and is Windows only.
